Yet. Would love to > just get ruby runner to print out the test names as they go by ... Yep. RSpec has a --format progress (and a per-spec timeout as well which would be useful here), but I don't think Test::Unit has that. FWIW, in my experience, Ruby speed issues on Windows are pretty much always file I/O problems. Even when it's working, and anti-virus is disabled, it's much slower than Mac or Linux, but when it's not working, hoo boy. You could probably rig up something with set_trace_func, but (a) that requires some more coding and (b) set_trace_func itself is pretty slow. -- Jay Levitt | Boston, MA | My character doesn't like it when they Faster: jay at jay dot fm | cry or shout or hit. http://www.jay.fm | - Kristoffer
